Chapter 7: Father
Chapter 7: Father
Rick and Amelia were in the kitchen. They were preparing fruits and some fruits based eatables for the dinner noticing the food Rick was worried how he will survive in this world based on just the fruit diet. The only other thing apart from fruits was milk based products.
Rick was partly working on chopping fruits and partly his sight was fixated upon Amelia’s butt cheeks. He really wanted to slap them and see how they will jiggle around. ‘These fantasies are getting out of hand. I need to find either a girlfriend here or it will be hard to stay in this house where I have a literal succubus for a mother.’ thought Rick.
‘Ryu fetch me the milk pot.’ his mother asked without turning around. ‘Sure mom, where to find it?’ he replied absent-minded.
He saw Amelia’s head turning and her red eyes getting fixated on him. Then it occurred to him he has messed up. Since milk is a staple diet of people here then ofcourse ‘Ryu’ would know where they will be keeping their milk stocks. Trying to salvage the situation Rick replied ‘Sorry mom, I think am still not able to recall a few common things for now. I didn’t tell you because you will be worried sick by it’ and before Amelia can come up with something Rick continued ‘and also I feel like most of my memory is fine and slowly I am getting better since the morning.’
Rick can clearly see Amelia was starting to worry about his health so he got ahead and hugged her tightly ‘Its okay mom.’
‘Ryu I will believe you this once but if you are not healthy by next week we will need to go to the healing hall and get help from some elders there’ Amelia replied. ‘we will do what you say mom’.
‘ahem, so about the milk..’ Rick asked once again. ‘You need to take a rest for now go to your room. I will take care of the milk.’ Rick decided it’s best not to argue with Amelia so he left her and got to his room.
Rick was in his room looking at his reflection. He had tried to search his room to find out his there were any reading material that might help him learn more about this world and also help him pass some time. But he found not one bit of paper in the whole room. ‘They must be storing all their knowledge at a library or something just like the ancient times on the earth.’ Rick thought.
So added visiting the local library to his plans. While he was thinking this he felt a little burning sensation on his chest, he removed his clothes revealing a green gem glowing. It felt hot to touch but it died down pretty quickly. Rick blamed this phenomenon on the magical nature of this world. ‘Apart from this, Ryu must have surely loved green dearly all his life. Green eyes, green hair and now this green gemstone.’ thinking about that Rick was confused.
‘If my memory serves me best my eldest sister has mothers red hair and my little sister has father’s black hair. Then how do we explain my green hair. And from Ryu’s memory I can tell there was not a single guy in Korua with green hair.’ Rick thought. ‘this is definitely suspicious. But I can’t ask anyone about this not atleast I familiarise myself with this world.’ his thoughts continued.
A good amount of time must have passed on when Rick heard a knock on the main door. He assumed this must be his father. So he got down and opened the door. Only the main door in the house has a latch securing it rest all doors are there for the namesake itself, he felt. Anyways he opened the door and saw a man in his 30s standing straight. For a few minutes they both stared at each other.
Suddenly the man black tank top hugged him. ‘I knew you will be okay Ryu. I am so glad to see you.’ his father said. Rick responded ‘Yeah father I am also glad I was able to meet you once again.’
‘hey what’s with this negative Outlook of yours, nothing will happen to you. Work hard and you will succeed at whatever you plan to do. Do you understand that young man?’ Jeff scolded Rick with a friendly slap on his back.
‘Yes father I can understand it. Now are you planning to come in today or not.’ Rick countered pretending to be annoyed with him.
‘So when is Mira planning to return home from mother’s house’ Jeff asked Amelia while they were sitting around on the floor with a plate of fruits and a little glass of Milk. ‘Probably mother will drop her by within 2 days.’ Amelia answered. ‘And hope Ruby is doing well too. This incident with Ryu had me a little worried about my children.’ Jeff said.
‘Yeah I can understand, she might try to visit us in the next week even though she is in an advanced pregnancy stage. You know how much she adores Ryu.’ Amelia replied. ‘I ll try to contact her while on my way to the farms because she must be worried’ Jeff suggested. ‘That will be best’ supported Amelia.
Rick was quietly listening to their conversation. From this information he can fill some gaps in his memories.
